Understanding New Jersey Drug Laws
As in most states, the drug laws in New Jersey fall into different categories based on the type of drug, as well as the illegal activity. While some drug offenses may go through municipal court, they will more often go through superior court.
New Jersey law keeps a list of controlled substances on different schedules according to their potency and likelihood for abuse. These can include anything from heroin and cocaine to prescription drugs like Oxycodone or methamphetamines. Types of drug crimes include:
- Drug possession
- Prescription drug charges
- Drug paraphernalia charges
- Drug manufacturing
- Drug trafficking
- Drug distribution or intent to distribute
- Drug distribution near a school or park
Related charges could include money laundering, conspiracy, motor vehicle violations, and drug-related DWI charges. At Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group, PC, we know what it takes to fight these charges and will work with you at every step to dismiss them or lessen their impact.
Are You Eligible For The Conditional Discharge Program?
Many of our clients face minor drug charges in Municipal Court. If these clients face first offenses, they may qualify for conditional discharge.
